Wendy, what is washed soup mix? We have a dried bean mix here for soup, is that what it is? I'm a reader from Washington State, USA. -Kathryn
ReplyDeleteThe soup mix has barley, lentils and split peas in it. It needs to be washed a few times in a sieve to get some of the starch off it.
DeleteThanks for letting me know what the soup mix was. The soup mix we use is called 13 bean soup mix. I could buy this combo of ingredients in the bulk bins and mix it myself.- Kathryn
DeleteHi Wendy, I am not familiar with washed soup mix. Will you please explain, Thanks so much. Shirley near Seattle USA
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley, it has barley, split peas and lentils in it. Wash it a few times before using in the soup.
